Coach Accreditation

 

Begining November 1st 2025, all coaches wishing to coach on the field of play of a Badminton Alberta sanctioned event must apply for a Coach Accreditation Badge. The applications must be submitted before the first tournament a coach will participate in, through this link. Once the application is processed, a badge will be printed that will allow the coach on to the field of play throughout the 2026/27 season. Applications must be made a minimum of 48 hours before the start date of the tournament where the badge will be used.

 

Only coaches with a visible, valid accreditation badge will be allowed on the field of play by the tournament referee. Coaches will have to re-apply to get a valid badge for future seasons. 

If any of the requirements are not met at the time of the application, the badge will not be printed. There will be a fee to reprint lost badges, badges will not be reprinted at a tournament.

• Be at NCCP Competition Introduction - Regional Certified Coach level, with active/renewed status
